| THE KING RETURNS TO LAS VEGAS A Triumphant Return in the World Premiere of Viva Elvis |
The tribute to the life and music of Elvis Presley by Cirque du Soleil, in partnership with CKX, Inc.'s Elvis Presley Enterprises, has opened at ARIA Resort &
Casino at CityCenter
CKX, Inc. (NASDAQ: CKXE) celebrated the world premiere of Viva ELVIS, the newest resident show by Cirque du Soleil, at ARIA Resort & Casino at
CityCenter in Las Vegas, on Friday night.
The show, a harmonious fusion of dance, acrobatics and live music, is a tribute to the life and music of Elvis Presley. It is a partnership between Cirque du
Soleil and Elvis Presley Enterprises LLC, a CKX, Inc. company.
Robert F.X. Sillerman, Chairman and CEO of CKX, Inc., said he was thrilled with the premiere. "When we first considered the idea of a production to capture
the true essence of Elvis, we knew it had to be a show conceived and performed by the creative geniuses of Cirque du Soleil," Mr. Sillerman said. "Given
that we were working with Cirque du Soleil, which has such an extraordinary track record, and an icon of the magnitude of Elvis, I was concerned that I had
set my expectations too high. But from what I saw Friday and from the reactions of those who attended the premiere, including the critics, I am amazed to
say that my hopes for the show have been exceeded."
Mr. Sillerman continued, "As the reviews have said, Viva ELVIS is a show the devoted Elvis fan will love, but it reaches beyond that. It will be thoroughly
enjoyed by the casual Elvis fan, by the fans of music from Elvis's era and by anyone who ever listened to rock and roll. It is also a show that will be loved by
fans of Cirque du Soleil, as it takes their talents to an entire new level."
